or wnsr VIRGINIA.

PENNSYLVANIA, A CORPORATION INCANDESCENT VAPOR-A-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION' forming part of Letters Patent No.7 713,150, dated November 11, 1902. Application filed September 4,1901. Serial No. 74,292. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, WIRT STANLEY QUIG- LEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at nPhiladelphia, in the county of Philadelphia,

State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in-.Incandescent Vapor-Burners, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates generally to burners,

Which shall be simplefin its organizationA and to simplify and improve the general construction of the burner, so that the same can be readily taken apart for purposes of renewal or repair.

The nature, characteristic features, and scope of the invention will be more clearly understood by reference to the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a stereopticon -burner outfitV embodying features of the invention, showing the general arrangement of burner, oil-tank, and pres- Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the burner. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the bracket. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the Vneedler. Fig. 5 is `an enlarged detail view showing the collar 42 in its relation to the core-13 and themanner in which the nipple is supported within the vaporizing-tube. As shown in Fig. 1, the outfit comprises a 'vapor-burner, a tank containing a suitable hydrocarbonfluid, and Vmeans for supplying pressure to the tank, such as an air-pump.

The burner comprises a horizontally-disposed casing 1, provided with air-'intake tubes 2 and with a mixing-tube 3, with which said tubes communicate,as shown in Fig. 2. There is an annular space or conduit 4 between said casing and mixing-tube which constitutes a chamber for a portion of the mixture of oilgas and air, the base of which chamber is deined'by a subburner 5, which surrounds the discharge end of a vaporizing-tube 6.

The casing 1 is provided with an upward extension 7, Which receives the burner-head 8, theA latter being constructed to carry a mantle 9 and chimney-support 10, a chimney being desirous in some instances. The mixing-tube has direct communication with said extension by means of an opening 11.

The vaporizing-tube 6 is threaded at its base to receive a needler-body 12, from which extends into saidtube a core 13 and within the core a needler-rod 14, carrying a needler 15, which is guided in a nipple 16 and can be adjusted to penetrate the tip or nozzle 17. For this purpose the needler-body is provided with a revoluble member or sleeve 18, which has an angular slot 19, that is penetrated by a screw or pin 20, projecting from the needler-body, and said revoluble member 18 is attached to the needler-rod by a setscrew 21 and is manipulated by a lever 22. The needler-rod is provided with a collar 42, which prevents oil or vapor from escaping Via the core. The ,needler-body is provided with a packing-gland 23 and with a securing-cap 24.

The casing 1 and the mixing-tube are both supported by the air-tubes 2, which are in vfturn supported -by a bracket 25, suitably apertured to receive said tubes and served with set-screws 26 to .hold them to place. The bracket 25 also supports the vaporizing-tube, which is adjustably disposed centrally thereof, the bracket being provided with an overhangingv jawv 27, having a set-screw 28, which locks said vaporizing-tube against displacement.

For purposesof adjusting the burner vertically the bracket 25 is provided with an extension or lug 29, having an eye 30, in which is secured a split sleeve 31, itted over and reciprocal on a suitably-supported standard 32, a set-screw 33 being provided to hold said sleeve in its adjusted positions.

Below the casing l and the vaporizing-tube there is a starting device, which may be the alcohol-cup 34, which in the present instance is attached to the casing by means of the metal straps 35, and in order to concentrate the heat from said alcohol-cup upon the vaporizing tube I provide a screen or shutter 36, which is slidably arranged on top of the casing and can be adjusted to inclose the space between the latter and the bracket 25.

The vaporizing-tube has an oil-inlet 37, to which is attached an oil-supply pipe 38, communicating with the oil-tank 39 and provided with a regulating-valve 40. 4l is an air-pum p for compressing air in the tank.

The closed outer end of the casing functionates a deflector for deecting portions of the mixture of oil-gas and air into the couduit or chamber 4 for supplying the subburner.

It will be obvious to those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains that modications may be made in details without departing from the spirit and scope of the same. Hence I do not limit myself to the precise construction and arrangement of parts hereinabove described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings; but,

Having thus described my invention, what `I claim as new, andldesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination of a vaporizing-tube having an oil-inlet and a vapor-discharge nozzle or jet, a hollow inner core, a needler-body attached to said vaporizing-tube and core, a needler-rod passing through the needler-body and through the core, a collar borne upon said needler-rod and acting to close the outer opening of the core, a needler attached to the needler-rod and arranged to penetrate the jet, a guide for the needler, and a device for manipulating the needler-rod, substantially as described.

2. The combination with the burner, the oil-supply connections and the vaporizing apparatus, of a bracket supporting and carrying the burner and vaporizing apparatus independently of each other, an upright or standard, and said bracket having a split sleeve, which cooperates with said standard.

3. In apparatus such as described, the combination of a horizontally-disposed casing having a burner-head constructed to carry a mantle, a mixing-tube within said casing, airtubes supporting the casing and mixing-tube and communicating with the latter, said casing and mixing-tube forming an annular air space or chamber for a portion of the mixture of oil-gas and air, a bracket supporting said air-tubes, a vaporizing-tube supported by said bracket and discharging oil-gas into the mixing-tube, a subburner surrounding the discharge end of -the vaporizing-tube and commu nicatin g with said chamber, oil-suppl y connections, and means for adj ustably supporting said bracket.
